Final whistle and the score is 0-0! Netherlands and France play out a goalless draw and this will not be the result that both teams were looking for. The disallowed goal turned out to be a massive point in the game and the race to Round of 16 remains wide open in Group D.

Adrian Rabiot made a very good run after capitalising on a defender's mistake and he was able to provide the final pass. However, Coman was blocked brilliantly by Ake as he could reach the pass and seems like that was the final attack of this game.

We are just minutes away from the end of regulation time and the story has been the same throughout. Some very good attacking moves but the finish has gone missing. Looks like this game is headed for a draw unless something special happens.

One last roll of the dice from Netherlands as Wout Weghorst replaces Memphis Depay. They have depended mainly on pace but with Weghorst, they now have a tall striker who can try to score from headers from the crosses.

The Dutch fans are not at all happy about the decision but it was a subjective call that ultimately came down to the referee. Score remains 0-0 and France were extremely lucky.

Netherlands take the lead thanks to Xavi Simons but the goal was disallowed. Simons' shot beat Maignon at goal but Dumfries was standing just beside the goalkeeper and he was judged off-side by the linesman. A long discussion between the referee and VAR personnel but the judgement goes against Netherlands.

Third huge miss for Antoine Griezmann and it is just not his day. Once again, a brilliant team effort ended with Griezmann in front of the goal with just the goalkeeper at his mercy. However, his shot was very weak and was collected by the keeper comfortably.

Both France and Netherlands have produced impressive attacks but one thing that remains missing in this game is finishing. Both sides have struggled to finish the opportunities and with 30 minutes to go and a Round of 16 spot on the line, it can turn out to be the difference-maker.

Kylian Mbappe has been sitting on the bench and it looked like he was warming up a bit. However, questions remain over whether he will be introduced in this match with France really needing a goal.

Second half begins and considering the quality of both France and Netherlands, this match can be decided by just moment of individual brilliance.                                                                                                                     

It is 0-0 and both France and Netherlands will be disappointed. Both sides had good chances to score but sadly, the finishing was just not up to the mark. The second half will need to see some better finishing fir sure.

This is extremely sad. As Antoine Griezmann was getting ready to take a corner, a fan threw a bottle at him. Fortunately, it did not hit him and dropped just in front of the attacker.

Two big set-piece opportunities for France with free-kicks in the vicinity of the Netherlands penalty box. However, the finish continues to elude them as both of them were blocked before they could bother the Netherlands goalkeeper.

William Saliba has been given the tough role of marking Frimpong and the French defender has performed exceedingly well. He has used his towering presence quite well and once again, he used his body to block a shot from the attacker.

The attempts are just not stopping as Thuram takes a wild shot at goal. He was released by a brilliant long pass but his shot was nowhere near the goal and the score is still 0-0.

Kylian Mbappe is sitting on the bench and he was named in the list of substitutes. However, questions remain over the star footballer's availability and it will be interesting to see if Didier Deschamps indeed risks his star for his game.

The match has settled down slightly with both teams looking for spaces to play their natural game. However, both teams have extremely fast attackers and any lack of concentration can led to a dangerous attack.

Antoine Griezmann came close twice but did not score even once as the score remains 0-0 in this high-octane match. The France captain had the open goal in front of him but he could not connect properly with the shot. One minute later, his shot was once again wide of the goal.

Antoine Griezmann had a good chance to score for France but his powerful long-range effort was saved by the Netherlands goal-keeper. This has been a lively start by both teams who are not shy of attacking and this can get interesting.

We are underway and early attack from Netherlands. France defense was caught napping as Frimpong made a brilliant run inside the box and his weak attempt was just palmed away by Maignon. Brilliant start!

The teams are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthems. We are just minutes away from one of the biggest matches of the tournament till now.

There were initially fears for Mbappe's future availability in the tournament after he was left bloodied by a collision with Austrian defender Kevin Danso's shoulder during Monday’s 1-0 win for France. However, the 25-year-old did not require surgery and could be involved later in the game as he aims to break his duck at the European Championships.

This is a mammoth game for both France and Netherlands with respect to this competition. Victory for either side in Leipzig will secure their place in the last 16.

Kylian Mbappe was named on the French bench for Friday's Euro 2024 clash against the Netherlands four days after breaking his nose in Les Bleus’ opening Euro 2024 victory over Austria. Mbappe trained in a mask inspired by the colours of the French flag on Thursday but has not been risked by Didier Deschamps.
